Description
SPH is one of the most exciting new areas in the field of computational fluid and solid dynamics and has been a major research activity in Manchester for over 20 years. This meshless method is opening up the possibility of research into fields that were well beyond any modelling capability but are now being actively pursued, from violent free-surface flows (natural hazards including flooding, tsunamis, resilient infrastructure) to offshore renewable energy devices to complex multiphase (nuclear, fusion, automotive, environmental) flows and hardware acceleration using graphics processing units (GPUs) and exascale heterogeneous computing.
